Sega Genesis
The Sega Genesis, known as the Mega Drive in Japan and PAL territories, is a home video game console released by Sega on October 29, 1988. The reason for the two names is that Sega was unable to secure legal rights to the Mega Drive name in North America. As a fourth-generation console, the Sega Genesis is Sega's third console and the successor to the Sega Master System with which it has backward compatibility when the separately sold Power Base Converter is installed.
